+This is a working space to develop proper biblatex support for the ACM article class (acmart).
+
+The relevant files for the bibliography styles are the following:
+
+- ACM-Reference-Format.bst : the official ACM BibTeX style
+- acmnumeric.*             : the preliminary biblatex support shipped with acmart,
+                             where it is called ACM-Reference-Format.{bbx,cbx,dbx},
+                             and only supports numeric citation style.
+- acmauthoryear.*          : the preliminary biblatex support for authoryear citation style
+
+In order to test the biblatex implementations, comparing with the bibtex one, the following files are included:
+
+- main-bibtex.tex : a sample document that uses bibtex for a journal like PACMPL
+- main-acmnumeric.tex : the same document, adapted to use the biblatex support included with the acmart standard distribution, that uses a numeric citation style
+- main-authoryear.tex : same as adapted to use the biblatex support included with the acmart standard distribution
+
+Typing make, will compile all these files.
